Unfortunately I was not able to get this officer’s name as I only chatted with him briefly. He was pretty busy dealing with all the kids asking questions about the horse he was riding! But he did have the time to pose for a portrait. 🙂

This was taken at the 51 Division police station open house event. It was very sunny outside so I was worried about harsh shadows on his face, but luckily his helmet shielded the sun; and the reflection from the concrete below worked a little in my favour, too.

This picture is #5 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
